In scientific research, what is the relationship between the hypothesis and the experiment? The hypothesis states what the experiment will prove. The experiment proves what the hypothesis states. The experiment either proves or disproves the hypothesis. The hypothesis and the experiment must have opposite conclusions.

@Chiko_1278 can you help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The difference between a hypothesis and an experiment is that an experiment is a way to test a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a prediction. You predict that if you change one thing (the independent variable) the other thing (the dependent variable) will change. Then you do the experiment to find out if your hypothesis was right. Here's an example: Let's say that you think that something that is heavier will fall faster than something that is lighter. That's your hypothesis -- if we increase the weight of the object, it will fall faster. The weight is the independent variable. The speed that it falls is the dependent variable. You are trying to test what impact the independent variable has on the dependent variable.

Ok thank you (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have one more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The part of an experiment that is not going to change is called a control independent variable conclusion hypothesis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An experiment usually has three kinds of variables: independent, dependent, and controlled. The independent variable is the one that is changed by the scientist. To ensure a fair test, a good experiment has only one independent variable.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So based on these statements, it won't be B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In science, a hypothesis is an idea or explanation that you then test through study and experimentation. Outside science, a theory or guess can also be called a hypothesis. A hypothesis is something more than a wild guess but less than a well-established theory.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would we rule out hypothesis?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes @ShirouxGhoul

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, what do we have left?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

control and independent variable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did independent variable first, so it can't be.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so control

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK, well conclusion is a statement that says if your hypothesis was correct or not. Control is part of the experiment that is not being tested and is used for comparison.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We had conclusion left. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, now that we have them narrowed down, which would you think would be the best/right answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Conclusion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great job!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tag me for further help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure thats the answer? @ShirouxGhoul

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought it could be a or b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think hypothesis or conclusion. I guess you could change the hypothesis though, so I don't know. It definitely isn't independent variable though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about the control?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I think control. i believe you can change it in experiments.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cant you change a conclusion too?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't believe so. It is the conclusion after all, meaning that it is the solution to the problem or hypothesis, so I would say no.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was right it is A @ShirouxGhoul

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What was A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its control not conclusion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:( I'm so sorry!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can un-medal if you want. Again, I'm sorry! :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO NO keep it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any other questions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im done but thanks anyway
